3D cell culture tools and assay systems for compound screening and regenerative medicine development. Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies are constantly developing breakthrough drugs. Before those drugs can be made available, they must be tested thoroughly. Conventional testing methods have sometimes been inaccurate, costly, and controversial. Most of all, they have delayed important drugs from entering the marketplace. However, a new scientific breakthrough in preclinical testing is changing all of that.

Video Timeline:
0:01 pharmaceutical and biotech companies are constantly researching and developing
0:06 new breakthrough drugs
0:08 but before any drug can be made available
0:11 it must be tested
0:13 and conventional testing methods have sometimes been inaccurate costly and
0:18 controversial
0:20 above all they have critically delayed important drugs from entering the
0:24 marketplace
0:25 about all of that is changing with a scientific new approach in clinical
0:30 testing
0:33 sciences
0:34 helping to bring tomorrow's discoveries
0:39 in the long these in life
0:41 the seeking technology developed by a man of sciences utilizes a t_v_
0:46 environment ethnic stores in life
0:50 cells in the human body are living in a three d environment
0:53 and yet current testing methods few cells growing in two dimensional space
0:58 davis testing methods underutilized two dimensions our union staged approach
1:03 gives researchers more testing options such as president petitioners mechanical
1:09 properties
1:10 in today's research and development practices it costs one point two billion
1:15 dollars to develop a new drug
1:17 in addition preclinical an animal testing can take six or more years to
1:21 complete
1:23 in people's sciences patented products for tissue based screening can provide
1:28 researchers with critical information about drug toxicity earlier in the
1:32 testing process
1:33 heading this information available editing tasting
1:36 could save hundreds of millions of dollars
1:39 providing researchers tenure is out
1:42 help stuck to my strikes the specifications so they hippies side
1:46 effects
1:47 did suru locket suki is called farmer and one of the ground-breaking
1:52 scientists applying the technology of tissue engineering into drug discovery
1:56 our concept is simple
1:58 we have discovered a new way of fabricating d_d_t_ should it's a giant
2:03 step in cardiac resentments
2:05 fella helped in the government na wat option in the near future
2:10 in vehicles sciences solution to the to the problem is the mc eight this aid
2:16 will module contain support cars of the twelve
2:19 supporting three-d_ engineered tissue growth
2:22 these bars are engineered tissues to grow longer
2:25 and facilitate mechanical measurement
2:28 and pacing of the tissue using the culprit
2:32 the mc x transparent bottom allow cells in the to shoot to be accessible via
2:37 optical instrumentation
2:38 such as microscopes and michael played readers
2:42 the steel bar support in the mc eight can also be used for electrical pacing
2:47 of engineered heart tissue
2:51 in people's sciences helper to our is an automated essay system
2:56 this highly sensitive force detection device provides a variety of tissue
3:00 mechanics data
3:02 including stiffness and contractility a very soft tissues
3:06 previously unattainable by any other biomechanical testing devices
3:10 on march twenty fourth in twenty fifth two thousand nine
3:14 in vivo sciences presented its technology and business model at the
3:18 world's best technology showcase in texas in vivo sciences was among the top
3:23 three award winners at the showcase the company was selected by investors
3:28 his licensees
3:29 and tech commercialization experts to receive the gold award
3:34 and he was sciences has received significant funding support
3:37 from the national institute of health
3:40 which continue to support the commercialization of our technology to
3:44 benefit future drug discovery and return medicine
3:47 currently our focus is on cardiovascular and skin diseases and we are exploring
3:52 other field as well
3:54 the alternating beginning of our journey
3:57 our team continues to explore all avenues india looking no solutions for
4:03 tomorrow's medicines
4:05 in-vitro sciences
